options available to you and your congregation to reduce
your contributions to global warming and to promote
environmental justice.
Monday, June 30, 11:30AM-12:PM: Walking the

leave a heavy footprint on our planet. Following our
Seventh Principle we examine how we can reduce the
environmental impact of our meetings and prepare for a
greener GA. Inspirational and practical presentations, tools
for assessing your personal impact, and a discussion with
experts and members of the UUA GA Program Planning
Committee for 2004.
Claudia Kern, SPP GA Events Coordinator
Note from the Newsletter Editor:One of the joys of being the editor of this newsletter
is the opportunity to read the articles as soon as they arrive
and then to incorporate graphics to highlight the articles.
Of course, for this newsletter, footprints was an obvious
choice. As I looked for footprint clipart I often ran across
clipart of various animals and their tracks. These clips
brought to mind many childhood adventures following
tracks and deciphering just who had made them. I realize
now that one of the most wonderful aspects of nding tracks
is the sense of sharing that place with another creature.
One of the activities the Seventh Principle Project issponsoring at GA is a method for calculating our individual
ecological footprints (page 6). Having already done this, I
can I vouch for the fact that this is a sobering experience,
but a worthy and informative one. Remembering my joy
as a child of sharing nature with other creatures, I realize
that in working to lessen the depth and breadth of our
footprints we are working to ensure that our footprints will
not be alone, but will always be accompanied by those of
so many wonderous fellow creatures.

Board News:
Universalism and of how we might create more interactions
between SPP and the UUA. As an afliate program
the SPP receives no direct support from the UUA, but
we talked about whether and how this might change a
few years down the road. Katherine Jesch, our Director
of Environmental Ministry, had a similarly successfu
meeting earlier in the week with Meg and UUA President
Bill Sinkford. Katherine and the Board are quite pleased
with these positive conversations and look forward to more
in the future.
Other highlights of the meeting included:
Planning for the fabulous programs and
workshops we are sponsoring at General
Assembly this year in Boston (see related
article).
Discussion of a SPP grant being used
by singer, songwriter Jim Scott, who is
compiling and producing an Earth Songbook,
which should be available at GA.
Starting the process of greening General
Assembly for 2004.
Presentation on a program of environmental
actions that can be taken by congregations, as
part of or separate from the Green Sanctuary
program.
Updates on a logo, brochure, web site, data
base, and newsletters.
Report on the Green Sanctuary program and
the nearly completed revised Manual.
Discussion of the need for fundraising.The Board will focus on this last point at its next
meeting in early April. We have worked hard on a vision o
where we would like SPP to be in 3-5 years and we believe
strongly in the importance of this work. Our curren
budget is $21,000 and we do a lot for that money. But, we
believe we can do so much more and envision a budget 3-4
times this amount. The trick, of course, is coming up with
the necessary combination of grants, donations, and other
income to make it work. Any ideas or suggestions you may
have would be welcome. Please contact me at 802-388
7669 [email protected].
And, by the way, we did nally get the keys to the
building. It was a measure of our focus and persistence
however, that great work happened while sitting and
waiting in a hallway near Dupont Circle.
Steve Maier, Chair
Amidst doses of laughter and tenderness, and
despite problems with locked buildings and doors, the
Seventh Principle Project (SPP) Board completed another
successful Board meeting on January 31 February 2 in
Washington, D.C.
We were joined on Friday evening by Meg Riley,
Director of the UUAs Ofce of Advocacy and Witness
(formerly Faith in Action), who also generously provided
space for our meetings. We shared our visions of the
connections between environmental work and Unitarian

If youre interested in being directly involved in this
expanding UUA relationship, contact Katherine so she can
get you plugged in.Coversations with Rev. Bill Sinkford, President of
the UUA, and Meg Riley, Director of the UUA Ofce of
Advocacy and Witness, are helping to deepen and expand
our institutional relationships.
Rev. Sinkford has afrmed in several venues his
belief that SPP has carried the environmental conscience
for the UUA essentially alone for too long. He believesit is time for the UUA to take a greater role in supporting
and carrying out the environmental commitments made
over the years in nearly two dozen General Assembly
resolutions (see
In the coming months we will be exploring several
areas where collaboration between the UUA and SPP can
yield important results. For example, the UUA can help
us extend our contacts in our Green Sanctuary work with
congregations through the Congregational Services staff
group. We can also take advantage of the resources in the
Congregational Fundraising ofce as we seek to expandsupport for SPP programs.
The Advocacy and Witness staff includes an
internship program for social justice advocates. Meg
Riley has stated her intention to obtain funding to add an
environmental justice intern to this group. SPP should
actively support fund raising for this position, and could
also help in recruitment when funding is obtained.
An environmental audit of the Beacon Street
buildings and operations is being initiated this spring, with
the rst level of evaluation to be conducted my Meadville-
Lombard Theological School students Margaret Beard andMichael Tino. We have offered to help identify resources
for follow-up actions that may be called for.
We are also initiating a major discussion on greening
the General Assembly. This is a long term effort that may
take several years to show signicant results, but we see
many possibilities for changing the way GA is done to
reduce the impact on the earth. Close collaboration with
the GA Planning Committee and staff will be essential as
we explore what is possible and reasonable for such a large
and complex enterprise. See the GA schedule in this issue
for the program session on this issue.
As an initial way of supporting SPP program efforts,
the Advocacy and Witness staff group has invited our
Director of Environmental Ministry to begin working in the
Washington ofce. Beginning this month, Katherine Jesch
will be working in that ofce a couple of days each week,
taking advantage of ofce support as well as spontaneous
opportunities for collaboration.
Well keep you posted as these efforts evolve, and
as new opportunities for UUA collaboration emerge.
SPP Relationship with UUA is Growing
Seventh Principle Seeks New Board
CandidatesDear Friends,
It is my privilege to serve on the Board of the Seventh
Principle Project. For the last two years, I have been par
of a group of seven people from Oregon, Texas, Alabama
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Vermont who are carrying the Seventh Principle Projec
organization to a new level of commitment and structural
development. We have travelled long distances at our own
expense to meet for marathon weekends of hammering
out a vision and then creating the practical steps to carry
forward that vision. Amidst that hard work, each of us has
found a renewed sense of personal hope, the satisfaction of
effecting change in UU Congregations and the UUA, andfellowship which has led to lasting friendships.
This year during General Assembly at the Seventh
Principle Project Annual Meeting, you will have the
opportunity to elect the Board which will serve for the
following year. Six of us have agreed to continue on the
Board at your pleasure; however, we are looking for at least
three individuals to join our merry band. In particular
Dianne Rahm, our treasurer-extraordinaire, will be
stepping down, and we are seeking a replacement who can
not only prepare quarterly nancial reports and prepare the
annual budget, but who will be able to assist us in carryingout some major fundraising goals in the next few years.
We are also seeking two detail-oriented individuals
to serve as our Board Scribe and as our Corresponding
Secretary. Our meetings are action-packed, and having
a Scribe to record our deliberations is an urgent necessity
A Corresponding Secretary is also urgently needed to assist
us in communicating with our membership and others in a
more timely fashion. In addition, we would welcome the
candidacy of any of you who feel called to serve, especially
those from unrepresented geographical areas and those
with ministerial or District experience/perspective.
Truly, serving on this board is a privilege. If you
are able to travel to at least three board meetings a year
(there are four, including one at GA), are willing to make a
serious, but reasonable commitment of time to forwarding
the work of the Seventh Principle Project, and like to laugh
a lot, please contact either Steve Maier, Board Chair, or me
to learn more.
We look forward to hearing from you!

After ve years of study and preparation, our own
Katherine Jesch will be ordained April 13th at 4:
00pm at the UU Church of Arlington, VA, her home
church. For those of you in the Washington, DC,
metro area, Katherine would love to have you join
in that celebration. Katherine plans to continueher environmental work as a community minister
and in the coming months will be searching for a
congregation that sees environmental work as a part
of their ministry, and that would be open to exploring
a relationship with her as an environmental minister.
I hope you will keep me in your prayers as I begin
this next phase of my faith journey.
Congratulations to Katherine Jesch, our
Director of Environmental Ministry!!
Green Sanctuary News:
Interest and participation in the Green Sanctuary
Program is expanding by leaps and bounds! Many are
nding the Green Sanctuary program is just the antidote
they need to the discouragement and frustration, if not
downright despair, of these uncertain times. The level of
enthusiasm I see across the continent is truly a source of
hope. Were building understanding and commitment forhealing the earth that will carry us far beyond the present
efforts to undo the progress of the past 30 years. So keep
the faith!
Our list of Green Sanctuary candidates has nearly
doubled since my last report in November, bringing us to a
total of 23 candidate congregations! A growing number of
other churches have undertaken the preliminary planning
effort, with several that anticipate being ready to apply for
candidacy in the coming months.
I am also hearing from congregations who anticipate
calling for a congregational vote to become certied as
Green Sanctuaries this spring. If your congregation is
nearing this milestone, let me know about your progress.
Its all Happening in the Churches
Wonderful things are happening in congregations all
over the country, and I encourage you to share your stories
with each other. If youre not already signed on to the
listserv, what are you waiting for? And if you are, have
you told your story yet?
I was excited to hear of the National Wildlife Federation
Green Sanctuary Program Continues to
Grow
certied wildlife garden at the First Unitarian Universalist
Church of Austin, Texas, for example. (And to see the
video clip from their local news broadcast!)
Practical questions about environmental audits
recycling, dishwashing vs disposables, car pooling
invasive species, land use policies the list of topics is
unending. The listserve conversation allows you to draw
on the experience of those whove already found solutions
to the challenges youre struggling with. I encourage you
to participate in this valuable resource.
A New Manual at last!
Last summer we asked for feedback on the Green
Sanctuary program and the Manual from participating
congregations. We heard from a number of you, and
based on the input we received, we have completed a fairly
substantial revision of the program structure.
In this new edition of the Manual, we have modied the
program steps to offer more exibility and choice to t the
different circumstances we nd in the many congregations
who want to participate. Instead of six Action Areas, thereare now four; instead of 17 activities, we now ask you to do
only twelve. The initial steps that precede the application
for candidacy are considered preparatory steps, designed
to help you organize and structure a program that will be
successful.
If your congregation is already well under way
under the old program structure, it will be your choice
as to whether you want to continue as is, or if it would
work better for you to switch to the new structure. If this
raises questions for you, I encourage you to give me a call
to discuss the options. We certainly dont want you toloose momentum with any adjustments, and its important
to take advantage of the good work you have already
accomplished.
For a short time, the new Manual is still a draft. This
means were continuing to update references and resources
and if we get questions or comments indicating a need for
clarication, well certainly take care of that. But primarily
were formatting and adding graphics to make the Manual
more attractive and user friendly. We plan to have the na
version ready for distribution in May, at which time the
price will increase to $20.00. In the meantime, the currendraft will remain at the bargain price of $10.00. To ge
your copy, see the order form on page ___.
A Green Sanctuary Conference in Atlanta
Nearly 60 people from congregations around th
southeastern region gathered in Atlanta, GA, on February
15 for a Green Sanctuary conference hosted by the UU
Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA). Conference coordinator
Lyn Conley, also a UUA Board of Trustees member, and
her team of planners designed a day-long program of

workshops and presentations. Participants chose from
among a list of topics ranging from religious education
to landscaping, and public policy to community action.
Sessions provided opportunities for dialogue, envisioning
a more sustainable future in personal, congregational, and
community lives. A special concert by Jim Scott opened
the weekend event, lling hearts and souls with earth songs
and getting everyone in the mood for the following days
events.
UUCA has just completed a major renovation and
expansion of their church facility, and took advantage
of the opportunity to show off the green aspects of
their renovation project. A tour was offered before the
opening session to acquaint participants with the energy
conservation and other features that had been installed.
The keynote address featured Mr. George Bandy,
Social Sustainability Manager at Interface Research, Inc.,
in Atlanta. Mr. Bandys presentation, I, Too, Have a
Dream, was a take-off from Martin Luther Kings I Have
a Dream speech. He vividly drew the connection betweenracism and environmental degradation, suggesting that if
Rev. King had lived, he would have been one of the leading
voices for protecting natural resources and cleaning up
toxic waste, recognizing that the poor and disenfranchised
are the rst victims of environmental damage. A free-
owing conversation followed the formal presentation,
focusing on issues economics, corporate responsibility,
and environmental justice, among others.
Participants in the workshop on the Green Sanctuary
Program were the rst to have an opportunity to examine
the revised Green Sanctuary Manual and discuss the newprocess with interested congregations. Response was very
positive, and the new Manual turned out to be a best
seller!
Chicago Area Outreach by Elgin Green Sanctuary
Activists
After hosting a Green Sanctuary workshop last fall,
members of the UU Church of Elgin, IL, arent content
to maintain their focus only on actions within their own
congregation. While the Green Sanctuary committee is
accelerating efforts to integrate Green Sanctuary goals into
congregational life, activists Dave Segel and Mary AliceMasonic are taking the show on the road in the greater
Chicago area. In collaboration with the environmental
task force of the UUs for Social Justice, Dave and Mary
Alice are conducting a series of on-site Green Sanctuary
presentations for other congregations. They have also
made themselves available for phone consultation to UU
congregations in the Chicago metropolitan and adjacent
Wisconsin and Indiana areas.
In spreading the Green Sanctuary gospel, Dave
and Mary Alice have not limited themselves to only UU
churches. In Chicago, as in other areas, they are nding
that the Green Sanctuary program has appeal in the
interfaith networks as a way to frame environmental values
for action in a context of faith and spirituality.
Green Sanctuary at District Assemblies
Districts across the UUA hold Assemblies or
conferences every year, either in Spring or Fall. This is an
excellent opportunity to share your experience and build
networks with other green-inclined UUs. Anyone can
propose a workshop, and if youd like Seventh Principle
Project or Green Sanctuary materials to share at these
events, be sure to contact me in advance. I can even send
a few Green Sanctuary Manuals on consignment if youd
like to sell them at a workshop.
I am aware of at least two District Assemblies where
this is happening this spring. The Elgin Green Sanctuary
Committee co-chairs will present a Green Sanctuary
workshop on April 5th at the UU Central Midwest Distric
Annual Meeting in Evanston. Their presentation wil
concentrate on visioning and process as well as provideinformation on the program.
The UU Church of Riverside, CA, is also hosting a
GS workshop, this one at the Pacic Southwest District
Assembly on April 25 to 27 in Irvine, California. Their
workshop will feature a town meeting-style format in
which participants will focus on what their church or
fellowship has accomplished and plans to accomplish in
the next six to twelve months. This is the second year in a
row that Riverside has presented at the Assembly.
Katherine Jesch, Director of Environmental Ministry
Check Out the Green Sanctuary E-Mail

Almost 200 UUs from all over North America are
now signed up with the Green Sanctuary e-mail list and
have been exchanging information about the program for
several months now. The e-mail list is a great way to ask
questions about Green Sanctuary or to share successes.

More Information about Seventh
Principle Project Events at Gen-
eral Assembly in BostonPre-General Assembly Workshop:
Becoming A Green Sanctuary
The overwhelming enthusiasm that greets us at our
annual Green Sanctuary workshop at General Assemby hasled us to try a different approach this year. Instead of the
usual 75 minute program session, we will hold a 5-hour
pre-conference workshop at the GA convention center on
Thursday, June 27, from 10 am to 3 pm. Using a format that
has proven successful at a number of congregations around
the country last year, well explore the Green Sanctuary
Program as a path to sustainable living and eco-justice.
With more time at our disposal, well be able to share
ideas, experiences, and resources in greater detail; create
and expand networks among Green Sanctuary participants
for greater mutual support; and develop strategies you cantake home to initiate or enrich the Green Sanctuary efforts
in your congregation.
Workshop fee of $___ will include lunch and your
own copy of the newly revised Green Sanctuary Manual. A
ten percent discount is available for three or more registered
from any one congregation. To register, send your check
or money order with your name, mailing address, email
address and the name of your congregation to the Seventh
Principle Project ofce at PO Box 1523, Arlington, VA
22210.
The titles for this years GA Programs (see page 1)
use a lot of words like walking, footprints, traveling,
crossing thresholds, and this issue of the newsletter
is littered with footprints! Seventh Pr inciples
theme for General Assembly this year is the
Ecological Footprint. An ecological
footprint is an expression of demand
on Earths resources, c omp are d
with the biological capacity of
the planet, thus this calculationis one way of quantifying an
ind ivi dua ls, or a businesss,
or even a congregations
i m p a c t on our living system. At our GA
exhibit booth, we will be providing visitors with the
interactive opportunity to calculate their individual and
congregational environmental footprints using special
computer programs, and, of course, we will be providing
lots of practical information on how to reduce that
footprint. Encourage everyone you know to stop by and
participate! If you are not attending GA, but would like to
GA Booth Preview: Whats with all theFootprints?
Greening General Assembly!
In addition to our interactive booth, Seventh Principle
will also be widely distributing a questionnaire at GA
asking attendees to help us determine the environmental
impact of General Assembly. Among the questions we wil
be asking are: How did you travel to GA?
How many air or road miles did you travel? Does
your hotel take any environmental initiatives? Have you
asked for and received vegetarian and/or organic food
choices at the conference center and/or your hotel?
The results of these questionnaire will provide usefu
input as the Seventh Principle hosts a discussion with
the GA Program Committee, experts in green conference
planning, and interested UUs on how we can work together
to reduce the negative environmental impact of future
annual gatherings.
In the meantime, each of us can begin to make this
GA(and our other journeys) more sustainable by taking the
following steps:
1. Carpool or charter a bus if you are driving to
GA.
2. Download a Green Hotel Initiative Guest
Request Card from www.ceres.org/our_work/
ghi.htm and use it when checking in and out of
your hotel.
3. Offset the carbon dioxide emissions createdby your travel by supporting wind and solar as
renewable energy sources.
Help Wanted at GA! Heres your
chance to get involved.Will you be attending General Assembly in Bostonthis June? Can you volunteer two hours or more to the
Seventh Principle? We are planning to be very visible a
GA with a unique, interactive booth and a total of eight
programs. Our goal is to communicate our mission t
as many attendees as possible and to continue building
membership and participation. To do this, we need the help
of our members!
You can help in two ways. First, there will be an
information table at each of our programs, and volunteers
calculate your ecological footprint and learn more online

Earth and Spirit songbook coming
soon!We hope youll be as excited as we are that Jim
Scott (UU musician, songwriter, and major activist for the
Seventh Principle Project) is producing a new songbook
hes calling Earth and Spirit. SPP sponsored his grant
application last fall, and the UU Funding Program awarded
$8,000 for the project.
The Earth and Spirit Songbookwill provide a
resource for worship and religious education, as well as
for any group celebrating the earth. Primarily intended as
a tool for participatory group singing, this book is a rst
offering in a projected series of materials by the Seventh
Principle Project. It will hopefully also serve as a fund
raising tool for SPP.
Jim plans to include about a hundred songs in the
volume, with melody, piano accompaniment and chord
symbols for improvisers on all instruments. Categories
of songs will include seasonal and religious celebrations,
earth images, environmental justice issues, and human
connections, among other topics. In addition to a number
of Jims own songs, the songbook will include offerings
from a wide range of composers, both familiar and new.
The Earth and Spirit Songbookwill be a valuable
resource for Green Sanctuary congregations seeking
to expand their repertoire for worship and celebration
activities. Jim plans to introduce the book at a workshop at
General Assembly, where it will be available for sale.
are needed to help staff those tables immediately before and
after the programs. Secondly, we hope to have one board
member and at least one volunteer at the exhibit booth at
all times. It would be wonderful to have volunteers from
candidate and certied Green Sanctuary Congregations to
share their experiences with passers-by.
GA is the Seventh Principle Projects major
opportunity to reach out to the greater UU community
with the message that, as UUs, we are called to addressthe spiritual and ethical aspects of human activity that
affect the health and sustainability of the living Earth. Will
you help us deliver this message by volunteering a few
hours of your time at GA? Please check the preliminary
GA schedule at www. uua.org/ga and then contact Board
Member Rick North, at 503-968-1520 (Pacic time) or e-
mail at [email protected] and let him know the days
and/or times you would be available.
